As a Senator, you will be allowed into US Airways clubs according to this press release:

http://www.usairways.com/about/press/nw_03_1020.htm

Additional customer benefits include reciprocal lounge access. Passengers traveling on Lufthansa in First or Business Class, or Lufthansa Senator members, will be welcomed at US Airways Clubs worldwide. US Airways Envoy Class passengers will have access to Lufthansa Business Lounges worldwide. Eligible passengers will be required to present their same-day Lufthansa or US Airways boarding pass.


As for upgrades, I wouldn't expect any, but only perhaps if coach is oversold. US hasn't released information about upgrading on LH (or vice versa).

You will be on an A-330 for the transatlantic portions. You want to ask for an aisle seat in the forward cabin of economy as that section has an extra inch of pitch between the rows. That is rows 8 through 20 or row 21 which is an exit row. As a Senator, I would call and request one of these specific seats with the US Airways International Desk at 800-622-1015. Or you may try the number listed for Italy at 84-881-3177.

Ciao,

Thank you for your reply and advices , due to a new scheduled meeting in Germany I will be flying out of Munich to Philadelphia and then on to Seattle (11/14) and back on the same routing (11/18) .
I have noticed that I will be flying on the older 767 but this routing is much better for me and also saves me quite a lot of time .
Should you have any usefull info on good seats on US 767's pls le me know (aoimuc@yahoo.com) .
Tnx

As a LH Senator, why on earth would you fly US Airways coach out of MUC? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/confused.gif

Why US coach out of MUC ??? Good question !!
Actually simply because the alternative offered would be Northwest which I don0t like too much , because I have a short meeting in Philadelphia , and finally also becuase of the double miles I will get .
Is it that bad ???
